This is a photograph of a woven textile featuring an intricate pattern of motifs and lettering. The textile displays a symmetrical design with a central floral motif surrounded by various smaller floral and geometric patterns, stars, and intricate borders. In the bottom section, there are motifs of eagles with a shield, and figures on horseback. The text "UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL" is woven into it. Additionally, names and places, such as "WASHINGTON", "J. CUNNINGHAM", "ONEIDA Co. N. YORK", and "BETSY L. FARMER", are also present. The textile is predominantly blue with the motifs in white. The intricate patterns and lettering suggest it may have been used as a commemorative piece or holds cultural significance.
